I sanded off CWF today. It's not perfect, but nothing high build primer wouldn't fix.
I also prepared for the first glue up steps, meaning I marked the location for the forward centering ring on the MMT, and reread the instructions for the piston. Then my epoxy was too cold to mix, and by before it warmed up supper was on the table and Lawrence of Arabia was on TCM, and that was it for the day.
An update on the fiberglass front: I had decided that, since I can't really just dip a toe, and I don't feel ready to jump into tne deep end, I would not glass this one. Well, i fimally got the message that I can wade into the shallow end (am I straining the meraohore a bit? I'm no good with metaphores, and I never know when I've taken one too far) so that's what I'll do. Small quantities of materials and the minimum of tools needed for a beginner to do a good job (which inmost things is more than a seasoned worker could make do with, but less than a seasoned worker probably has.) So the spiral filling was unnecessary, but certainly won't hurt anything. Details to follow.
